Lie to Me was an American crime drama television series. It originally ran on the Fox network from January 21, 2009 to January 31, 2011. In the show, Dr. Cal Lightman and his colleagues in The Lightman Group accept assignments from third parties, and assist in investigations, reaching the truth through applied psychology: interpreting microexpressions, through the Facial Action Coding System, and body language.
In May 2009, the show was renewed for a second season consisting of 13 episodes; Season two premiered on September 28, 2009. On November 24, 2009, Fox ordered an extra nine episodes for season two, bringing the season order to 22 episodes.
On May 12, 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported that Lie to Me received a 13-episode third season pick-up. The third season of Lie to Me was originally to premiere on November 10, 2010. On September 28, 2010, the premiere date was moved to October 4, 2010, because of the cancellation of Lone Star. Lie to Me was officially canceled by Fox on May 11, 2011.
The show is inspired by the work of Paul Ekman, the world's foremost expert on facial expressions and a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. Dr. Ekman has served as an advisor to police departments and anti-terrorism groups and acted as a scientific consultant in the production of the series. He is also the author of 15 books, including "Telling Lies" and "Emotions Revealed".

Lie to me is a true rarity and gem among T.V. show's, it hasn't been
done a million times over. Lie to me stars Tim Roth as Dr.Cal Lightman
a doctor who specializes in body language and vocal patterns; together
with his team of specially trained associates he helps the police and
U.S. Government solve there toughest crimes. Lie to Me is a great show
because it capitalizes on a whole new field of television, all you see
on modern T.V. today is cop show's more cop show's and medical drama's.
But this is refreshing it's much different then any show out there, yes
it involves the police but in a small role there only around to keep
things under control or to make arrest's. This show has a style and
mind of it's own. It doesn't follow the extremely(and I mean that
lightly) worn path of other show's that maybe similar or try to be like
it. Take Castle for instance, it's a show about a murder mystery writer
who helps' the police solve there case's; Now how many times has that
been done? Lie to me is a completely original and highly entertaining
show that I know that people will just love if they give it a chance.

Excellent show with a great cast! I'm not lying!

Lie to Me is a very interesting series, with a lot of humor and a very
interesting premise in my opinion. In addition the 4 Cast members all
play their role very good and add to the show's freshness.Tim Roth (great as always!) plays Dr. Cal Lightman, a human
lie-detector, who's able to detect any lie from people's body language.
That ability comes in handy when catching criminals, but it also
provides him with the misfortune of always knowing when someone is not
honest with him, sometimes leading to unfortunate situations. Lightman
is a cynic and unpleasant character, who's willing to do anything to
find out if someone is telling the truth or not.The series also features a strong supporting cast, including Kelli
Williams as Dr. Gillian Foster, whose husband is cheating on her, a
fact everyone of her colleagues is aware of, except herself. Brendan
Hines' character is always telling the truth no matter how embarrassing
and Monica Raymund starrs as Ria Torres, who has the natural ability of
seeing if someone is lying. That often leads to conflict with Lightman,
who refuses to believe her ability is as accurate as his, since he
needed years of training, while she was just born with her talent.Yes, there are parallels with other series, especially "The Mentalist",
but those are pretty much limited to the ability of the main character
being able to detect the truth from people's movements and voices.
Besides "Lie to Me" is focused on the science of detecting lies,
something completely ignored in "The Mentalist". For example, it will
take a person who's telling the truth longer to respond than one who's
lying, because the one telling the truth needs to think about the
answer.The only real flaw after 5 episodes is in my opinion that not enough
character history is provided. We literally don't know anything about
the characters, except a few details. I have no doubt we'll eventually
find out more, but it's about time they start. All in all, the series
is great fun and entertainment, and maybe you'll be able to pick up one
or the other lie in the future, thanks to Lightman's group.

This show is good. Now that&apos;s a Lie.

"We're not magicians, we're scientists" Oh, so 'Lie To Me' would like
us to believe. Unfortunately for us, the new FOX show is undone
partially by the silliness of its own premise. Considering the amount
of lies told and believed, it is hard to imagine a person, let alone
four, can tell a lie, within a few seconds and 100% of the time.
Stories about a man who has an uncanny ability to tell lies from the
truth defy reality in such a way that it alienates the viewer.The problem with 'Lie To Me' is that it feels so fake. They way it is
filmed, and the way the characters easily figure out complex problems
without much time, gives the audience a feeling that their being duped.
Each episode appears to be complicated but somehow it always wraps up
into a neat package that's supposed to be easy to digest. As a result
there is no suspense and the show feels flat. Normally, films or TV
shows about remarkable people work because of the obstacles they must
overcome. However, in 'Lie to Me', there simply aren't enough obstacles
the characters need to overcome and everything seems so easy. There is
no pleasure watching someone figure out problems when they always get
it right. "Lie To Me also suffers from the complexities of its premise. In order
to make the show feel authentic, a good portion of each episode
consists of the characters explaining things and this gets quite
boring. As each new episode airs, the show's formula becomes more and more
obvious, to the point at which one cannot find an ounce of reality. And
the clichés keep on coming. The characters are quite stale and are caricatures. They lack any
complexity and emotional depth and are thus hard to believe.As a result, it is slick and unsatisfying. 'Lie To Me' feels exactly like that: a lie.

I am on show #5 and while this show started off OK it quickly became
less than interesting and more than predictable. There are no real men
in this show.. just like pretty much all of episodic TV anymore. In
every scene there is a woman standing in the foreground yakking away
while the man stand behind her waiting for orders. Sure.. that's fine..
but you can't do that with every woman in the cast in every episode in
every scene.The characters are cookie cutter roles. The angry Latina, the wimpy
lefty twenty-something, etc etc.. blah. Bored to death with it.The constant political references were annoying and sometimes over the
top silly. The notion that they would always have Dick Cheney's grimace
in their office along with other noted political figures is silly
enough but the references to them in the shows are just plain funny. I
laughed very hard when scenes would open with someone looking at John
Edwards face or pulling up 3 or 4 pix as references while studying a
crime. Cracked me up.Technically this show falls right on its butt. Walking into a room with
a handful of tapes and immediately looking at random shots form them
was laughable enough but the shots where they were typing furiously at
the keyboard to zoom in on something were pure comedy.Tim Roth saves this show every time. The supporting cast is obnoxious.

I've watched a couple of episodes of this junk and it seems to me that
most of the negative 'examples' of tells are of Democratic Leaders; not
Republicans.Fox's bias is so strong in this show, more than the o'really(?) show. I
wonder how they convince the writers to edit in these subliminal
comments. This show, in particular, seems to have been written
specifically to keep Dems in a bad light, with a few Reps to make it
seem 'fail and balanced'. For the premise of the show, I don't see why
political figures even need to be used to nudge along the story. The
only other reason would be to alter the message so as to put the
political imagery in a bad light, using the show's storyline to comment
on the sample image, not the other way around.Heil FOX! Their incessant hate mongering lives on!

Tim Roth should take lessons from a ventriloquist if he is not going to
move his lips: I tried to watch this show a second time, but turned to
another channel after twenty-five minutes. I guessed what the story was
about from some of the other actors remarks, and formed the idea, after
about fifteen minutes,that it was something about a missing girl. One
of the strategies that some liars use is to mumble their words. When
real people are in a situation where something they value is at stake,
they speak clearly. Tim Roth keeps the words down in his throat letting
out only their sounds. Watch the courtroom shows and listento the litigants. You can hear every word. I have watched over a
thousand the last three years and only during two of those did one of
the litigants mumble (they were proved to be liars).

I've nearly given up on movies a while back. In my opinion TV series
have surpassed cinema in many ways. I'm an admirer of Tim Roth, he's a
great talent, so I was expecting something special, a TV series worthy
of his qualities as an actor ( and director ).To make a long story short, I think "Lie to Me" is CSI-like TV show
only without the visual and conceptual qualities of CSI, but with all
the shortcomings of CSI. Tim Roth seems to be bored to death, while the
other main characters appear to have no other purpose than to be the
main characters. Which would be OK, if they weren't so annoying.Then there are other actors, you know, the suspects & co. The subject
of the show is lying and uncovering liars by detecting giveaway facial
expressions, but for that to work, producers, please hire someone who
can act.

Wow-amazing!

Awesome new show! My favorite of this season. I'm actually quite
surprised that the show is this good. All the characters seem to be
developing quite nicely.The plot certainly throws you in different
directions. I watched the pilot episode and I was shocked about the
ending. I certainly wasn't expecting it. Nothing is too clichéd, I
mean: who else do you know has tried to develop a show about a human
lie detector? I'm sorry, I don't understand how people can compare this to House.
House deals with medical cases, Lie to Me deals with crime and mystery.
Dr. Cal Lightman is so awesome. Tim Roth is amazing. Fox has redeemed this one! Can't wait for more!!

Disregarding Reservoir Dogs, I think this has to be Roth's best work.
Roth is extremely in touch with Dr. Lightman and you feel as if he
truly enjoys playing this character. The show leaves you in total
disbelief at points and instills a hunger for more and more episodes. I
strongly suggest this show to anyone who is interested in an incredibly
engaging and entertaining drama series as well as to anyone who is
interested about Dr. Paul Ekman's work on facial expressions, and body
languages as it relates to emotion. Solid television series. I look
forward to the next few episodes. For anyone who has missed the first
few episodes, the television series is now online at hulu.com. Highly
recommend hulu as well.

I think this show is awesome and is now my favorite. I've never seen
anything like it, really. I've watched it about a zillion times and
can't wait till every new episode coming up. I was actually starting to
get tired of all the re-runs and boring shows on T.V. I don't know if
it's the science behind the lies or just the idea of it, but I've
simply fallen in love with it. But I don't think it's just the lies
that interest me, I'm also very in love with the actors and characters.
Especially Tim Roth. Aka Dr. Cal Lightman. If there were words that
could explain my interest and love for his work I'd use it, but as far
as I know, there isn't. Even in the new "Incredible Hulk" I was struck
by his talent.

If you haven't seen this series, get yourself to Hulu ASAP...it really
is a terrific show by any standards but especially phenomenal for a Big
4 broadcaster.What makes it unique is its documentary-style cuts; showing how to spot
deceptions using real-life examples -- Clinton, Rumsfeld, Nixon, etc.
The storyline itself is adequate but these extra insights stand the
show apart from anything ever broadcast before. In this age of dumbing
down broadcast TV to the point of being unwatchable, its "Smart TV"
approach really is worth supporting...maybe it will start a trend; kind
of an anti-Survivor.Murdoch will probably kill it so enjoy it while you can. On the bright
side, if it does die maybe it will find a home at one of the cable
stations that'll show it more love.

A show which turned out to be a lot better than I though. There are
lots of "Cop-shows" out there, although they are seldom something
special. But this! This is a great show with great actors and a story
that for once is different. Tim Roth does a really good job, so does
the other less well-known actors.What makes this show special is probably the shows protagonist (Tim
Roth). He is special, socially "disabled", but still so powerful with
wisdom and in a strange way guidance. A similar example could be CSI's
William Petersen. I strongly recommend this show for people whom enjoy watching shows
like CSI, Numb3rs and similar ones!

Fantistic start.

This show remains episode in nature while keeping you fully intrigued
by the characters and wanting to discover more about their back story.
Tim Roth is intense, engaging and brilliant... kind of a milder version
of House - he's willing to stop at nothing to get to the truth, and
doesn't feel the need to over-rationalize his choices. The other characters compliment each other well, and use their personal
characteristics to colour their judgments/choices, which is true to
life.Very intelligent show so far. Hope it stays on the air.

Last night I watched the premiere of Lie to Me on Fox. I'd seen the
previews for months, and when I saw that Tim Roth was coming to
television, him being one of my favorite actors, I was both excited and
dubious at the same time. Another of my favorite actors, Christian
Slater, had made an awesome TV debut on My Own Worst Enemy. But the
show had been canceled, and I honestly didn't want to see the same
thing happen to as great an actor as Tim Roth.But last night's pilot delivered many great performances, not only from
Roth, but the supporting guest cast as well. The episode itself had a
pleasant mixture of drama, comedy, and sharp dialog.Despite what some may think, it is possible to tell from a show's pilot
whether or not the show will succeed. From what I saw last night, I can
see this show going a long, long way. The formula that the show's staff
have come up with is, yes, still in its conceptual stages. But they're
definitely on to something, and I hope to see a rising popularity in
America for Dr. Lightman and his team.

Excellent show with a great cast! I&apos;m not lying!

So far I've only seen the pilot episode. I admit it. I've got a mad
man-crush for this show.The show's about Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) as a sort of a superhero.
He's a human lie detector. He looks for dozens of subtle tells in the
face and on the body. He's studied human communication so intensely
that he always knows if someone is concealing something.His company, so far, is involved with police and political matters.
There's some significant room to bring in lots of personal interplay as
well (we've seen a glimpse of that already).This is from Imagine Entertainment, the company that does 24. I hope
that, as the show evolves, that the fate of the planet doesn't rest on
everything that Dr. Lightman does and says. One Jack Bauer is plenty,
thanks.I also hope that the show doesn't become driven by an overarching
nemesis. Shows with a strong internal mythology and skin-tight story
arcs can be fun, but we've seen so much of them lately that I wouldn't
mind seeing the episodic adventures of a flawed hero trying to do
something right.

An amazing show. I have always been a big fan of Tim Roth so when I
heard he was doing a show I was very excited and I was hoping he would
have strong writers to back him up. Lie to me is an excellent show with
a highly original idea. It has it's own category. Numbers deals with
math, House deals with diagnostics, Bones deals with forensic science
and great character development for the most part, and Now Tim Roth is
the human lie detector. The film is well acted and the chemistry
between Tim Roth and his partner is excellent. The dialog is very
strong while having slight moments of sarcastic humor. Blunt honesty
tends to be very funny at times as well. The writing in the show makes
the show seem more on edge as well and I am anxious for more. Lie to me
is a wonderful show so far And I can't wait to see where they go with
it this season.
